JOB 20 - 29
Job 20 – 29 JOB 20 Zoʹphar+ the Naʹa·ma·thite said in reply: 2 “This is why my own troubling thoughts urge me to answer Because of the agitation I feel. 3 I have heard a reproof that insults me; And my understanding impels me to reply. 4 Surely you must have always known this, For it has been so since man was put on the earth,+ 5 That the joyful cry of the wicked is brief And the rejoicing of the godless one is for a moment.+ 6 Although his greatness ascends to heaven And his head reaches to the clouds, 7 He will perish forever like his own dung; Those who used to see him will say, ‘Where is he?’ 8 He will fly off like a dream, and they will not find him; He will be chased away like a vision of the night. 9 The eye that once saw him will not do so again, And his place will behold him no more.+ 10 His own children will seek the favor of the poor, And his own hands will give back his wealth.+ 11 His bones were full of youthful vigor, But it will lie down with him in mere dust
